Cards

Term
Cell Theory
Definition
1. Every living organism is made of cells.
2. Cells are building units of life.
3. All cells arise from other cells.
Term
Characteristics of All Cells
Definition
1. Plasma membrane encloses the cell.
2. Cytoplasm fills the cell.
3. DNA encodes the instructions for making the cell.
4. Energy is transferred into the cell from the environment.
Term
Types of Cells
Definition
1. Prokaryotes
2. Eukaryotes
Term
Prokaryotes
Definition
No nucleus (before nucleus), 2 domains - bacteria and archaea, very small
Term
Eukaryotes
Definition
Has a nucleus (true nucleus), 4 domains - animal, plant, fungi, and protist
Term
Eukaryotic Animal Cell Surface Structures
Definition
1. plasma membrane
2. cilia & flagella
Term
Cilia & Flagella
Definition
Extensions of the plasma membrane that are supported by microtubules / role of movement
Term
Flagella
Definition
One long extension (ex. sperm), move whole cell
Term
Cilia
Definition
Many short extensions (ex. tricia), move surrounding materials
Term
Eukaryotic Animal Cell Genetic Material
Definition
-Nuclear envelope encloses genetic material / double membrane, full of nuclear pores composed of proteins that regulate what gets in and what gets out of the nucleus
Term
Nucleus contains
Definition
DNA and nucleolus
Term
DNA
Definition
LInear, chromosomes / chromatin fills the nucleus composed of the blueprint for our genes
Term
Nucleolus
Definition
Synthesizes ribosomes / composed of proteins and ribosomal RNA
Term
Eukaryotic Animal Cell Cytoplasmic Structure
Definition
Cytoskeleton
Membrane compartments
Mitochondria
Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition
Components are intermediate filament, microfilaments, and microtubules.
Functions = structure (intermediate filaments), cell movement (microtubules and microfilaments), movement of organelles and molecules (microtubules and microfilaments) and cell division.
Organelle = centriole
Term
Centriole
Definition
Two units of microfilaments and splits during cell division, gives rise to cilia and/or flagellum
Term
Membrane Compartments
Definition
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus
Term
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
(ER) composed of a rough labyrinth of ribosomes.
Function = protein synthesis, protein folding, and export to Golgi Apparatus
Term
Golgi Apparatus
Definition
Imports proteins from the ER, modify, sort, an package proteins for export.
Term
Antibody in immune cell
Definition
1. Ribosomes & RNA>Rough ER>2. Antibody protein is synthesized>3. packaged into ventricles>4. export vesicles>5. Vesicles fuse with Golgi>6. ad carbohydrate>7. Mature protein packaged into vesicle>8. Travel along microtubules>9. Fuse with plasma membrane (release protein outside the cell and absorbed into the blood stream)
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Endosymbiont hypothesis
Function=convert energy in food into ATP energy
Composed of DNA, ribosomes, enzymes for ATP synthesis, double membrane
Term
Endosymbiont Hypothesis
Definition
Mitochondria are derived from prokaryotic cells engulfed by larger cells with both cells becoming dependent on he other.
Term
Eukaryotic Plant Cells
Definition
-Cytoplasmic structures in plants but not animals: chloroplasts, plastids, and central vacuole
-Cell surface structure in plants but not animals: cell wall
-Nuclear characteristics same as animal cells
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
Share features with mitochondria, use sun energy, use ribosomes, amek protein
Term
Chloroplasts
Definition
Share features with mitochondria, use sun energy, use ribosomes, amek protein
Term
Central Vacuole
Definition
Water balance, water storage
Term
Plastids
Definition
Storage compartments
Term
Prokaryotic Cells Cell Surface Characterisitcs
Definition
Plasma Membrane
Cell Wall
Outer capsule or slime
Flagella
Pili
Term
Plasma Membrane
Definition
Lipids, regulates what gets in and out
Term
Cell Wall
Definition
1. Cocci - spherical
2. Bacilli - rod shaped
3. Spirella - spiral shaped
Term
Outer capsule or slime
Definition
made of proteins or polysaccharides / biofilm / effective in blocking antibodies
Term
Flagella
Definition
NO cilia / proteins from at the base to provide cell movement
Term
Pili
Definition
Protein extensions on the outermost surface
Term
Prokaryotic Cells Characteristics of Genetic Material
Definition
-Nucleoid = contains the DNA contained in a single circular chromosome
-Plasmids = small rings of DNA, carry additional genes
Term
Prokaryotic Cells Cytoplasmic Structures
Definition
No membrane bound organelles / ribosomes and food granules / extra membrane
Term
Yes
Definition
Do prokaryotes have hydrophobic membrane proteins?
Term
How Prokaryotes Affect our LIves
Definition
Digestive track, synthesize vitamins, food production, recycling waste,and disease
